Application ma Boptomborfi, 1 06. Serial No. 333,562.

To all whom it may concern:

' Be it known that I, SIGMUND GOLOMBEK, a citizen of Russia, residin at'New York cit Manhattan, county and tate of New Yor have invented new and useful Improvements in Watch-Protectors,-of which the following is a s ecification.

ThlS invention relates to a watch protector adapted to be permanently secured to a watch, and which prevents the unauthorized removal of the watch from the pocket of the wearer.

In the accompanying drawing Figure '1 is an end view of iny improved watch rotector, showing it in engagement wit a p ocket; Fig. 2 a cross section on line 22, 1g. '1; 3 an enlarged plan of the protector; F1g. 4 a similar View, showing the parts in a different position; Fig. 5 a section on line 5-5, Fig. 3; Fig. 6 a section on hne 66, Fig. 3; Fig. 7 a section on line 77',

Fig. 5; Fig. 8 a detail of the cover, and Fig. 9 an edge view of the protector.

' A-crescent-shaped fixed jaw 10 with blunted points, embraces a smaller crescent-' shaped movable jaw 11. The latter is rotatab e within jaw 10, to which it is held by embracing with its rooved outer edge'12, the inner edge of theIatter. When jaw 11 is turned with its opening or concavity out: ward, (Fig. 4), the stem 13 of awatch may be introduced into the same, and by then tuming 'aw 11 with its concavity inward, (Fig. 3), t e jaws are made to collectively embrace said stem. In this ositionthe jaws may be locked to the watch y a set screw 14 of inner jaw 11.

Jaw 10 is provided along convex outer edge with a curved tubular guide or keeper corresponding'o enin s 19 in the 15, composed of a grooved flange 16 integral with the jaw, and with a grooved cover 17 secured tothe jaw above said flange. The means for securing the cover to the-flange consists of studs 18 on the cover, erhterin'g Within the tubu ar gulde 15, is free to turn a curved resilient pin 20 having a finger-piece 21 that Projects outwardly throng slot 220 flange 16.

In use, the pin is retracted, the watch car g, rying the protector is placed into the gara long ment vance (Fig. 7), to pass with its point 24 through the lining of pocket 23 and into the v 15. In this position,

pocket 23, and then the pin is ad-'- pressed to clear edge 26, and then the pin 20 is turned by fingeriece 21, until its pomt24 is withdrawn and t e protector thus becomes I v detached from the pocket. 7 What I claim is:

1. A watch protector comlposed'of an outer fixed jaw, an inner movab e jaw, a curved tubular guide on-the fixed jaw, and a curveii pin movable in the said, guide, substantially as specified.

2; A watch protector composed of'an outer crescent-shaped fixed jaw, an inner crescentshaped movable jaw engaging the fixed jaw, a curved tubular guide on the fixed jaw, a curved pin movable insaid guide, substantially as'specified.

3. A watch protector com osed of an outer fixed jaw having a slotte' curved tubular guide at its outer edge, an inner movable jaw engaging the fixed jaw a curved pin movable in the guide, and an outwardly extending finger-piece on said pin, substantially as specified. 4

4. A device ofthe class described come .prising a circular plate having a cut away portion at one side and having a watch-stem receiving opening communicatin with the cut away portion, a block movab e into and out of position to close the communication, between the cut away portion and the open ing, an arcuate tube extending around rtions of the plate and lying with item at opposite sides of the cut, away portion, and a pm engagedin the tube and slidably movable therein into and out of position to extendacross the cut away ortion of the plate.
